Hey, the game is very good, I love such graphics, it would be very good game to play on a smartphone.

It looks nice and it's fun to play. I especially like the parallax & ominous boss music/drums. The text can be a bit hard to read, though.

Atmospheric game, really sets the mood with the audio and visuals. Sometimes I find that the waves are a bit long, which makes deaths very punishing. Nice entry.

Nice game. The text could definitely use some work, it doesn't stand out very much, and the enemy ships can be a bit painful to vanquish, but I like the art, especially the background.

Hey, nice seeing from you again!

I really like the art style. The game itself was quite simple and easy to understand. After I lost my first two drones I gave up.

I really like that there seams to be random enemies (which shoot in different intervals).

Nice ambiance and mood you got going in this game. I also like how I can hold the spacebar to keep shooting rather than repeatedly hit it like I do to in most vertical shooters.

After playing it awhile I cared more about surviving than I did about scoring points so I spent more time dodging than shooting. If you wanted to add some more challenge to the game, maybe add a penalty for not destroying certain objects that make it past your drone. You probably can't shoot down all enemies but it's just a thought.

Nice game regardless :)

Good game and good idea for the theme. I think the letters on the home menu could be more prominent. I didn't realize if there is a game over because whenever I lose, the score just gets negative. I liked the sound and the art!

Played until 100 score after which it had gotten a bit boring, maybe the progression could be sped up to feed different more challenging stuff to the player sooner. Otherwise pretty neat.

Great game! I like some of the details such as the game getting darker as you descend deeper. The enemy laser ships had some good movement patterns that added some challenge too. The mother ship was quite difficult for me lol

Nice simple shooter. Could do with a speed increase for the player and asteroids. Also some enemies with diagonal shots. Nice compo entry.

This was neat, it reminds me a lot of Galaga! I really liked the pixel trail on your ship. Having multiple laser sounds was also a nice touch. I appreciated how dying just increased a counter, rather than making you restart back to the beginning when you ran out of lives. To make it more fast-paced, you could also try having more/faster enemies, but increasing your own speed and firing rate to balance out the difficulty. Also, the menu text didn't contrast well against the background which made it hard to read. Overall this was a cool entry, nice work!

Good solid shooter game.

love the visuals! the tight controls and nice particle feedback (especially the trail behind the ship) gives it a really good experience. some music would've been nice, and the menu text was a little hard to read, but otherwise it's really fun!
